It because the air is much dryer during cold weather and dry air doesn't move the static away from you as easily as moist air. (i keep getting static shocks from touching things at the moment!)

No idea what you can do to help, other than fixing a grounding rod to your self over winter :)

oh dear, my hair is like a fibre optic lamp :(

thanks chuck, I had an idea it was dry air related, other than a number 1 all over my options are limited to using moisture products and water, the grounding rod sounds good though
Put some bowls of water around and allow water to evaporate to keep the humidity up and see if that works
Yes, low air moisture causes it and using conditioner can reduce it.

you mean you couldnt think of a punchline mick... ;)
if i didn't have a bullet cazzz, I wouldn't have cocked the rifle.
Fabric softener should kill the static in your clothes - we used to spray it on computer room carpets to do just that
heard of a brush or conditioner?
i take that back sorry
